Billy Crystal on Monsters and Overcoming

Are you faced with impossible obstacles? Well, let’s take a lesson from that lovable one-eyed underdog from the Monsters animated movies. Here are seven characteristics of kids who beat the odds.

You, too, can accomplish the impossible!

Overcomers Believe
They Belong. On campus at Monsters University, teachers and
students alike tried to tell one-eyed Mike Wazowski that he didn’t belong. But Mike refuses to
be left out. The rest is Monstropolis history! Billy Crystal can relate to
that. “I was a film directing major at NYU and I’m still not sure why I became
a directing major when I was an actor and a comedian at heart…I felt like I was
a misfit because I was studying alongside Oliver Stone
and our professor was Martin Scorsese!” But Crystal believed he belonged — and so
he did.
